Recurring: Drivers Error ’80040e4d’

This is a common error with access databases and happens usually when the server is running low on resources.

If you have other applications running on your site that are badly codded and don't drop server objects once they are used the memory allocation for your site slowly gets used up and your site runs low on resources coursing errors like above.

This error can also happen when to many people are connecting to the access database at once as access can not hadle large amounts of traffic. Xhanging to MS SQL server version would clear this up.

All objects in the forum code are dropped once they have been finshed with. I have been very meticulous with this and have spent many hours checking it, so it is not a problem with the forum codes.

If you have other ASP applications and files running on your site go through them and make sure that all objects are released once they have been finshed with.

If you have modified the forum with mods available that others have written this may also be the problem as I have noticed allot of mods are badly written and don't drop server objects. I had a few forums I was hosting for others that I found had problems like this on the server and I found it was the mods they had installed that where coursing allot of server problems like you mention.

It could also be bad programming on another site that is coursing this problem if your site doesn't have it's own isolated memory allocation.

Yes. My hosting company is finally coping to the actual situation, now that you've given me the info. to approach them with.

They used to tell me it was my problem. ( or the code in the forum)  Now they're saying there's no real way to track down the origin of the problems as the whole server shares memory.

Much appreciated Borg.
